  1. You downplay my post that explains why it wasn't gross negligence as an op-ed piece, then follow with your own opinion piece that we're then supposed to take as fact. You're a peach. A Georgia peach.
  2. https://www.google.com/amp/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_577d08f8e4b09b4c43c1a785/amp?client=safari#
  3. I'm hurt that you would say such a thing. I like postcards. I wish you well in your new country. Will you switch citizenship so you can vote there? Will you become Buffanin(insert country)bywayofAtl? And after 11 hours of testimony, having answered all questions, to say she still lied without proof is lowering the bar to pure partisanship.
  4. What country are you going to that you'll recognize? I hope you'll send us a postcard. And the Benghazi hearings were important to discover the facts and learn what could be done better in the future, such as Congress fully funding State Dept security requests, which they have yet to do. The first couple of hearings were sufficient. When it got to the 9th, it had become a partisan waste of money trying to figure out how they could factually blame Clinton. Which they failed to do.
  5. Petraeus knowingly disclosed classified information to an unauthorized person. Clinton did not. Petraeus lied to the FBI. Clinton did not. The statute in question requires criminal intent. Sorry the facts don't fit the narrative some of you were hoping for after the Benghazi accusations were disproven. Just the facts.
  6. Nothing, based on history: Ultimately, Comey said his recommendation against charges stems from the fact that there is no precedent for charging someone under similar circumstances. "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey said, saying the FBI could not find a single case in which a person was charged with crimes for similar actions.
  7. If you're going to cherry pick, then to put it in context: However, Comey said there was not evidence of any kind of coverup in regards to those emails. "We believe our investigation has been sufficient to give us reasonable confidence that there was no intentional misconduct in relation to that sorting effort," Comey said. "Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case," Comey announced after a lengthy recap of the investigation the FBI conducted.
  8. Ron Rolston wearing gardening gloves.
  9. I played with glasses on when I was 11-12. Wore a full cage. Had an elastic strap to hold them on. The problem was them fogging up before there was good anti-fog spray. Had to take my glove off and wipe them quick when the play went the other way. Eventually got soft contacts. Knew a goalie who wore hard contacts, and one fell out during a game. We couldn't find it, so he had to play with one good eye.
  10. Must be tough having that name. Like a boy named Sue.
  11. The rules are they have to protect NMC, so Bogo has to be protected. Kulikov will be UFA.
  12. He's a placeholder until Guhle is ready to play big minutes. Probably won't resign him next year.
  13. Could you hang out with Kane and show him how?
  14. Scottish voters overwhelmingly backed remaining in the EU, 62% in favor of staying to 38% who want to leave. In the 2014 vote, 55% of Scottish voters cast ballots in favor of remaining in the United Kingdom.
  15. Never a good idea for a candidate to attack voters. Better to target the opposition candidate. Re: Texas, if they left, after a decade the white people there would face the same fate as they did in South Africa, where the non-white majority took control. They'd be knocking on the big, beautiful door in the huge wall crying to come back into the U.S.. And we would say get in line behind all the other immigrants.
  16. Hillary Clinton released the following statement after the people of Great Britain voted to leave the European Union: “We respect the choice the people of the United Kingdom have made. Our first task has to be to make sure that the economic uncertainty created by these events does not hurt working families here in America. We also have to make clear America’s steadfast commitment to the special relationship with Britain and the transatlantic alliance with Europe. This time of uncertainty only underscores the need for calm, steady, experienced leadership in the White House to protect Americans’ pocketbooks and livelihoods, to support our friends and allies, to stand up to our adversaries, and to defend our interests. It also underscores the need for us to pull together to solve our challenges as a country, not tear each other down.”
  17. That would be God helping us.
  18. 28 Days Later
  19. Unlikely due to the distance from other teams. Florida moved their team from Portland to Springfield, which puts it close to a number of teams. And Montreal plans to move their St. John's team to Laval after next season when an arena is completed. The best Portland could do is join the ECHL like Manchester and Adirondack.
  20. "It's not all unicorns and rainbows and jujubes, but Buffalo selects Mikhail Sergachev." 13 words.
  21. I expect the AHL will expand by adding a team in their Pacific division. Probably a city nearby like Reno or Salt Lake City. Arizona just moved their team to Tucson for next season.
  22. You're wrong on all counts. The laws, regulations, and State Department policy in place during her tenure permitted her to use a non-government email for work. The 2009 National Archives regulation in place during her tenure required that "[a]gencies that allow employees to send and receive official electronic mail messages using a system not operated by the agency must ensure that Federal records sent or received on such systems are preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system." The regulation recognizes the use of non-government email accounts. Clinton's practice was to email government officials on their ".gov" accounts, so her work emails were immediately captured and preserved. Clinton only used her account for unclassified email. No information in Clinton's emails was marked classified at the time she sent or received them. Classified information was viewed in hard copy by Clinton while in the office. A separate, closed email system was used by the State Department for the purpose of handling classified communications, which was designed to prevent such information from being transmitted anywhere other than within that system. "If I had to do it over again, I would not have done it", is not an admission of anything but that she now realizes that this non-issue gave fodder to the conspiracy theorists who proactively look for anything she does and try to twist it to fit their narrative. A distraction that she could have avoided if she used separate accounts, even though what she did was legal. Taking the 5th is not an admission of guilt, but it does protect a person from a fishing expedition. Pagliano was subpoenaed by the conservative legal watchdog group Judicial Watch to testify as part of an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit they filed against the State Department. Given the history of conservatives starting with one issue and fishing for other information, as when Ken Starr questioned Bill Clinton about Whitewater (which he was cleared of) but then fished until he came upon the unrelated Lewinsky affair, it's understandable that someone would be reluctant to give them free reign. Perhaps he did something unrelated in his past that he doesn't want to disclose. Regardless, Hillary said she wanted all people questioned to answer, for there's nothing to hide related to this issue. Just the facts.
  23. And "We the People" have all her emails that were sent to or received from gov't officials. Every one of them were backed up on gov't servers from the sending or receiving parties accounts. Anything else by definition would be private emails. Just the facts.
  24. In retrospect, given all the hacks that have occurred to gov't and business servers, she actually was smart in using a private server that was more secure. It was never hacked. And of course there were never any top secret labelled documents sent or received by the server when she used it. Weak sauce for conspiracy theorists. Just the facts.
  25. She talked about it yesterday in her speech.
